How to rollback and uninstall Windows 10 Creators Update

The Windows 10 Creators Update is rolling out to users from today. If you install it and encounter major problems, as some users have, you might want to go back to your previous version, and wait until the update is a bit less buggy.

If you been using Windows 10 for a while, you’ll probably know how to do this, although the process has changed slightly this time around.

You’ll now be asked why you are going back to the previous build. You can select from:

My apps or devices don’t work on this build

Earlier builds seemed easier to use

Earlier builds seemed faster

Earlier builds seemed more reliable

For another reason

You need to select a reason for the Next button to appear, and can also opt to tell Microsoft more about your reasons if you wish.

Bear in mind, if you do revert to a previous build you may need to reinstall some apps and programs, and you will lose any changes you made to Settings after installing the Creators Update. You’ll also be advised to backup your files as a precaution.
